AUX Mercury Sable 2009 SYNC Supplement 

Selecting from different genres
SYNC allows you to sort indexed music by genre (category) type. SYNC
will automatically categorize your indexed music according to the
available genres. If you have fewer than 255 indexed genres, SYNC will
list them alphabetically in flat file mode. If there are more than
255 indexed genres, SYNC will organize them into quick select
alphabetical categories (i.e., AAAAA-MMMMM and MMMMN-ZZZZZ). The
number of categories will depend on the number of indexed genres.
